Agrarian resistance

Agrarian resistance refers to the collective actions and movements by farmers and rural communities to oppose policies, practices, or changes that threaten their livelihoods, land rights, or agricultural practices. This can include protests against land grabs, environmental degradation, or government policies that favor large agribusinesses over small farmers. Historically, agrarian resistance has played a significant role in shaping agricultural policies and ensuring the rights of rural communities are recognized. It reflects the struggles of those dependent on land for their food security and economic survival, highlighting the importance of sustainable agricultural practices and rural development.
